DLA Piper has appointed a specialist as a partner in its intellectual property and technology (IPT) group, based in Dubai, paving the way for what it calls “a full-service IP offering across the MENA region”.

Saba Al Sultani joins the firm from UAE-based Cedar White Bradley, where she was a partner and head of trade marks since 2018, after previously moving to Dubai to work at Clyde & Co., a position she held for over seven years. She will lead DLA’s MENA trade marks practice.
